Pronoun bio field and chat integration

Following up my comment on https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/310210-discover/suggestions/42218083-pronouns-prefix

It would be great if there were a dedicated Bio field in which we could put our pronouns, and a chat feature similar to the functionality provided by https://pronouns.alejo.io/ to display pronouns right alongside names in chat. This could also be used to populate a tag-like display near the streamer's name.

Tags for streamers are a start, but I'd like to be able to consult someone's bio (if they choose to disclose pronouns) so I can refer to them properly when they're not currently streaming and be able to refer to viewers properly.

    Can we please get something going on this Twitch, this was suggested in 2019, its 2021. Let’s get with the program!

    Twitch needs to add an option to allow users to add their pronouns to their profile! There's a browser extension which allows you to choose your pronouns, and it adds them as a badge next to your username. I would love to see this!

    great idea, cmon twitch

    Pleeeeeease! Not that Twitch actually cares about any of us, taking over a year and thousands of votes to post that they noticed (but haven't done anything about) adding a trans tag to their existing tag system...

    Still, support for displaying pronouns is very needed. I muchly like having them in brackets after users' names. This seems common and easy to spot and understand.

    And now back to trying to puzzle out a name change that has pronouns in it.

    The only argument against this is that people might target and harass people who have chosen to do this which is banable anyways. Upvote!

    This is incredibly easy to implement, as we've seen from third-party extensions.

    Inclusivity is important to Twitch, or so it claims, so this is an important step!
  • Otter_Monkey commented  ·   ·  Report

    Pronouns are easy and super important for the health of some people so let's just add them!
  • CliffIsGayming commented  ·   ·  Report

    We've already seen with the user made Chrome Extension that this is something that would definitely be helpful on Twitch, but it means that everyone would need to use Chrome when using the platform.

    Surely there's a simple solution that Twitch can deploy?

    I think this will help a lot everyone and addressing someone with correct pronouns is the way of the jedi hehe

  • PrimeMinus commented  ·   ·  Report

    I feel like this would result is a ton of harassment

  • KittyDragon13 commented  ·   ·  Report

    Why is this not available? where is the inclusiveness that supposedly exist? these tags/badges help people respect each other. get your stuff together twitch. All will benefit with the changing times.
